The Chase...

So many times you see players chasing "The Dream." The reality is most players will never play basketball professionally. It's really an addiction. Once you fall in love with the game you can't turn back, it's in your blood. You may take breaks and try other things, but there is always something that draws you back to that ball hitting nothing but nylon. The sound of the sneakers burning rubber against the hard wood. The smell of musky gyms. It's all addicting. Players that truly love the game know of all these nostalgic explanations.

Bodies begin to break down, families have to be taken care of, the dream feels distant. So many players suffer from this same thing, families and friends telling them it's just a game you have to grow up now. What people don't understand is this game is who we are. It taught us about life. Without it we feel a huge gap in our lives. So yeah we may move on, we may get other jobs, we may act like we don't miss it. Just know anyone that has played and loves the game will always have a piece of their heart devoted to that orange halo, the white thread, and the cow hide globe.

This game never gets old to us. We love it!
